Look for Encaletaos Colombian Food truck in Echo Park, which serves butifarra soledeña-and-smoked cheese-topped La Costeña burgers, and chorizo-and-egg-topped Pasia burgers on pan artesenal, along with Colombian-style hot dogs, picadas, and Baranquilla's famous desgranados, a mash-up of potato sticks or tamales, cheese, sauces, lettuce, and other ingredients topped with multiple grilled meats and sweet corn. Owners plan to introduce more Colombian classics to their menu, shying away from what's typically served in Los Angeles to concentrate on the cooking of Colombia's coastal regions like Baranquilla, Santa Marta, and Cartagena.
